Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A compound of the formula ##SPC6## in which R and R' may be individually alike or different and are saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups of 1-25 carbon atoms, E is an electron withdrawing substituent, p is 1, 2, 3 or 4, m is 0 or a whole integer up to 4-p and n is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, said compound having a total of 3-25 carbon atoms in R m and R' n and said electron withdrawing substituent E p (1) having an electron withdrawing capacity such that a phenol containing only said substituent has an acid ionization constant Ka of at least about 50 × 10 - 10 and (2) being so selected and positioned on the aromatic ring to substantially increase the efficiency of the compound as a copper extractant from aqueous solutions having a pH of less than about 1.0.
